I'm staring at the setting of the sun
|
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
|
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
|
As I try to make the most of what is least.
|
|
I've a weary kind of feeling in my mind,
|
I'll try to look ahead and not behind.
|
And I know that you don't mean to be unkind
|
As I try to make the most of what is least.
|
|
The rain is dripping down my window pane
|
And if you came back to me, it wouldn't be the same.
|
I know the end is near and I'll try to battle on
|
As I try to make the most of what is least.
|
|
I'm staring at the setting of the sun
|
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
|
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
|
As I try to make the most of what is least.
|
|
Lonely nights down by the railroad track,
|
I see you going and never coming back.
|
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to battle on
|
As I try to make the most of what is least.
